Looks like a winner if you don't mind the 10 lbs.

I never had tone woods like these in a guitar before, so I am really curious. I'll deal with the weight, as I played heavy les Paul's for years.

That looks great! Would love to know how it sounds when you get it.

How is the Zebrawood tone wise? Mine won't be here for at least a few more days.

I'd say it is somewhere between maple and mahogany...if that makes any sense>>> brighter than mahogany but warmer than maple...

Sick zebrawood. Congrats on picking it up. Definitely share thoughts on it - once you get it.

I bought this guitar on eBay before you did and sent it back. If you look closely in the light you can see divots in the neck where the stainless steel frets were crowned. It was also one of the most poorly balanced guitars I've ever held. I own the original that rainbow copied these from and it doesn't have the balance issue.

it's a crazy incredible guitar. The added weight I'm sure is going to make it sound so much better then a standard San Dimas. That Zebra wood looks amazing. WOW I'm totally loving this guitar. You are inspiring me to have a custom built model myself.
Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it when you get it.

Interested to see how this turns out.
